Who, Me?

Both Whitsunday and Specialknives have done this, but I was bored with the card thingy.

1. I am a ceasarian baby. This means that my head was always the right shape and my cranium was not squished at any stage, so I can't blame that for my mental defects...

2. I'm relatively well travelled and I have yet to conquer, I mean visit, many other places in the world. I have decided, however, that when I grow old I'm going to retire to my gret auntie's house called Achmelvich, in Lochinver-By-Lairg, Scotland. That's the only place in the world that has made my heart ache.


3. It takes me a very long time to get to know people. I have Trust Issues and so I don't tend to thaw towards people properly for an age. However when I make friends with someone I generally tend to stay friends with them for life. I have only ever met two people that I have liked instantly, and I haven't slept (or wanted to, for that matter) with either of them. My longest Incubation Period was for a year and a half, and I don't speak to that person any more.

4. My favourite art movement is the Pre-Raphaelites. Anyone who can paint something so rich and sumptuous and beautiful deserves a sainthood. It's like the devil's food chocolate cake of art.

5. I have three cats and I love them each as individuals and as a family unit. I'm not sure what Freud would say about that. They are my angels.

6. I have two sayings that I live by: The only expectations you should ever live up to are your own; and In order to make an omelette you have to break a few heads. I also follow the saying 'That which doesn't kill you will only piss you off more' rather closely, but it's not one of my unshakeable tenets.

7. I've been told I have a strong personality. I can't imagine why people would say that...

8. My birthday is in October.

9. I have my mother's face and my father's personality. My younger brother has my father's face and my mother's personality . I think I got the better deal.

10. My best friend in the entire world is Chris. He is also my first non-familial platonic male love. I don't view him as family. I don't get on well with my family.

11. THe phrase "You can choose your friends, not your family" means absolutley nothing to me. This may make me look harsh, but I don't believe in wasting time on people who don't deserve me.

12. My father and I are very alike. THis led to bloodshed and tears when I was growing up, but now we are close friends. We argue about Classics, world views and Methods of collecting Intelligence. and we both can't stand Nick Agar. He said I'm allowed a trebuchet if I keep it in the carport.

13. One of the best things I've ever read in a book is the phrase "Some poor fool looked into the face of Love and called it God"

14. My favourite time of year is autumn. It's cold enough to warrant a fire, but not raining and awful.

15. My ideal evening is in front of a fireplace with friends. I love the warmth and intimacy of a fireplace, and the smell of woodsmoke is a trigger of misty-eyed childhood reminiscence. A house isn't a home without a fireplace and a cat.

16. I have been engaged twice. The first time I was too young and got involved with a man who was very controlling. I was with him for three years. The second time I was just plain stupid and looking for someone who wasn't so controlling. He was far too dependant and I was with him for five and a half years. I have now been single for a year and seven months.

17. I have recently found Someone Interesting. I'm not in any rush though.

18. I have a brother and two half sisters. When my family talk about my brother and me I sometimes feel like I managed to get all of the brains and charisma and, well, everything in the gene pool before my brother got there. Although in saying that if he actually pulled his finger out and made an effort he'd be a pretty cool guy.
My older sister is my mother's daughter and she works in the prison as a sentence manager. She looks an awful lot like me, only with more cheekbones and her eyes are greyer than mine. My other sister is my dad's daughter. She is only three and is already the Queen of the Kindergarten. THis bodes well for her future, as it means she has her fair share of the Davies Ego, and we all know that there is more than enough of that to go around.

19. My scholastic achievements so far amount to me shocking my sixth form english class with a creative writing block about rape, drug use and vampirism. I got an A+ for it, but due to the content the school couldn't publish any of it. I almost feel like I'm one of their dirty secrets.

20. My flatmate laughs at me because I'm a "Welsh Midget". Apparently I can blame my mental defects on that, and it is an excuse for any strangeness he finds in my personality. I blame my loyalty, passion and hieght on being Welsh. I'm only short compared to him though, and that's because he is unusually tall. (Over six foot tall is unusually tall, from my point of view anyway.)

22. I try to avoid having a 'look' in my wardrobe. I am most comfy in jeans and tshirts, but in saying that I love to dress up in flowing clothes and corsets. I do a Goth look very well and I also do a corporate look very well. I have a weakness for fur.

22. My favourite footwear is army boots. I can't think how I possibly existed before I owned a pair because they are basically atom bomb proof and (after you break them in) the most comfortable things in the universe. They look odd with miniskirts and suit jackets though, but I don't care.

23. I believe wholeheartedly in Love. I will find it again one day, and hopefully it won't kick the shit out of me this time.

24. I have a weakness for J&M's Dodgy Fried Chicken. It is full of salt, fat and MSG. It is also the world's best comfort food.

25. I have lived in the following cities/towns: Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Russell and Tauranga. You should never spend all of one's life living in the same place because then you have absolutely no idea about how the rest of the world works. And you need to spread out the gene pool...

26. I was a solitary child, and at 26 I'm finding it hard still to break that habit.

27. I can't imagine life without sound. I would rather be blind than deaf. Music is an integral pert of my personality, but I've never had the patience to sit down and learn an instrument.

28. I am a screaming perfectionist. If I don't have the knack of something within half an hour I generally don't stick to it. I don't know if this makes me capricious or fickle, and quite frankly, I don't...Oooh, shiny thing!

29. I find it hard to think of my flatmates and friends as men, they will always be The Boys to me.

30. I have held two of the aforesaid Boys while they cried. I'll leave you to guess which two.

31. I am a clothes whore...

32. I dye my hair red to hide the grey. I'm trying to grow it down to my waist, but I get the feeling I'm going to lose my patience with it and cut it off soon.

33. I am a very passionate person. I will swoon with love or blaze in anger and I will feel everything to its' utmost. I blame this on feeling almost nothing but despair through my teenage years.

34. I'm tiny. I don't really feel tiny though, and sometimes the 5'4" slender redhead staring out of the mirror catches me by surprise. I think maybe I have a big persoanlity to make up for it.

35. I like mad people. Being mad myself, the lightly touched will always find themselves beloved of me. I also find arrogance and bastardry completely attractive. I think one day I'll meet Rhett Butler and fall completely in love.

36. I have an enormous peice of titanium in my spine holding everything straight and together. I boast about having the world's prettiest insides, and will display my XRays at the drop of a hat. I have a very big scar from the surgery, of which I am inordinately proud.

37. I have a jealous nature. I think it comes from having to share everything with my younger brother when I was little and having sweet fuck all to share in the first place.

38. My mother left us when I was 8. I by-and-large raised my brother and still view myself as the matriarch of the family, even though my father has married again. My current living situation reflects this.

39. The "Rhiannon as Matriarch" theory was concieved when I was small and Dad's girlfriend left because I didn't like her. Dad also waited until I left home before he married his wife. I don't know what this says about me as a person, other than that even then I had a very strong personality.

40. In my house there is but one mistress and no master. It is a quote from Elizabeth the First and I believe in it wholeheartedly.

41. I believe there should be a breeding liscence for the human race. This would mean that people that are uncapable of raising children wouldn't just keep spitting forth progeny to the child's detriment.

42. I can't have children.

43. I love romatic poetry

44. I am a very territorial person and this is reflected in almost everything I do. Living with the Boys has helped me a little in this, but I still get twitchy.

45. I have been described as a thug. I laughed and said that I was too small.

46. I've picked up Amy's Capitalization habit. I can even use my voice to do it now. I'm Proud of this.

47. My favourite body part is my eyes. They have a good shape, a beautiful colour and they are incredibly expressive. The lashes are just long enough to be noticable but not long enough to get tangled up. My brother's eyelashes get tangled up. Bitch.

48. I'm also incredibly vain of my hair and my hands. I think I have a well-shaped mouth and would like to get my bottom lip peirced at some stage.

49. Sometimes I am beautiful. Sometimes I am terrible. Sometimes I am terribly beautiful and at others I am beautifully terrible. Then I am terrible in my beauty and then it's all on.

50. I don't believe in false modesty, nor do I believe in apologizing when I'm not sorry. In recent history I've only apologized to Kester.

51. I do my best school work between midnight and three in the morning.

52. I am relatively nocturnal. I prefer nighttime to daytime because the moon isn't going to burn me and give me skin cancer. It also doesn't hurt my eyes when I go outside. I have freckles, but no tan. I practically glow in the dark.

53. The "Rhiannon glows in the dark theory" was tested on my last day working at the Observatory, where I indecently exposed myself to the audience while the lights were off in the planetarium and I was giving the "Tour of the Night Sky". I still look back on that and smile. The odd thing is that no-one approached me about it afterwards...I didn't even get a "Nice rack" or anything...I'm assuming that they were in shocked disbelief, because I certainly got some odd looks...

54. I've only ever punched boys I know, but I've never been in an actual fist fight. The closest I've been to it was a wrestling match with my second ex which ended in me holding him down with my knee in his throat. I'm not Proud of that.

55. I fight dirty. Usually there's a lot of kicking involved.

56. I'm an odd mix of dominance and passivity. In word and deed I am dominant, however if someone is more dominant than me I will cave completely and hide from them. I don't like it because it makes me feel cowardly.

57. I have an addictive personality. I also tend to Ritualise.

58. I think my internal thermostat is broken. I'm generally freezing when everyone else is warm. I currently have fingers of ice.

59. I don't like being sick. I will get over pretty much anything in a couple of days unless it's a Death Virus because I don't like pissing about lying in bed feeling revolting.

60. I am fiercely caring. I will bully pretty much anyone into good health through sheer force of will. I will also undertake Wet Work on my friends' behalf. This will generally make me unpopular because I also keep my cards close to my chest and don't justify my actions to anyone.

61. I will protect my privacy to the death.

62. I love to dance. I have a nasty habit of dancing like a whore and then bullying the poor saps who try and join in away. It's for the best really. I haven't come to blows over it yet.

63. I also like to sing. I only really sing when alone or drunk though. I have a nice voice, but don't like the idea of an audience.

64. I have performed euthenasia on animals. I am Not Proud of this, however I can see how it was necessary. I cried.

65. I have owned two cellular phones, my current one was a gift from a friend. I can't bring myself to buy a newer, modern phone. I like my phonasaurus rex.

66. I love retro music. When I say retro I mean Mozart. Anything more recent than that is still modern...

67. I hate most brands of pop

68. Love is not the only four-letter word I know, and I use them rather alot.

69. However in saying that I am most eloquent when I'm angry. I think it brings out the Queen in me.

70. I have a pedegree. It dates back to Hungary in 1067. This means I have a LARGE extended family.

71. I like chocolate, but not rabidly.

72. I also like kissing, but only the right people.

73. I've been described as "sexy", but I think of myself more of a sensual person in word and deed. I don't think of myself as sexy, I'm not forward enough.

74. However in saying that I had a one-nighter with someone where we didn't exchange names...

75. I have three tattoos and 11 peircings. 8 of the peircings are above my neck. I have 2 of my tattoos on my shoulders and one at the base of my spine. The one on my back is still raised up.

76. I call it my braille tattoo. I like to touch it occaisionally.

77. I have been known to call myself a dirty sensualist. I buy things depending on how nice they feel. Hence the weakness for fur.

78. I have many, many books and I'm always on the hunt for more. I'm running out of decent authors.

79. However in saying that, my secret shame is B grade horror novels...Hell, B grade horror movies too...I love the Evil Dead trilogy...

80. I would rather be too cold than too hot. You can always get warmer, but there are so many layers of clothing you can take off before you hit your skin, and if you take that off you're screwed.

81. Body hair revolts me. I have none. Even on my toes.

82. I spend most of my life in a dream. Reality is too dreary and dull for my tastes.

83. I would like to be in charge of EVERYTHING one day.

84. I don't like to admit when I am wrong. I would sooner just ignore it and move on. This explains my love life.

85. I prefer passion to sensuality. However I recognise the need for both in a relationship.

86. I don't think I've ever lived in a house that has been a regular "ticky-tacky" house. I've always had quirky houses with Personality.

87. I refuse to see myself as a victim of my past. (See point 6). Victims only make me angry when they don't take my advice and wallow in their own self-pity.

88. I have tried two kinds of martial arts. One day I'll actually find the dedication to stick with one of them.

89. Although in saying that I am happiest when I've got several things going at once, hence my Mad Doktor's degree.

90. Judging how I treat my friends and cats I would be a good mother.

91. I prefer drugs to alcohol.

92. I prefer Greek Tragedy to Shakespearian Tragedy. It's grittier.

93. I'm developing a weakness for Space Cowboys.

94. My Holy Triumverate is God, Clint Eastwood and DFC.

95. I have a theory that it wasn't actually Clint Eastwood that directed Bridges over Maddison County. It was far too much of a chick flick to be true Eastwood.

96. I managed to get the phrase "Because Greeks are Nancy Boys" into my classics exam five times. This is a record for me.

97. I tend to side with Rome in the classics arguement. Greeks are far too Jerry Springer for my tastes. (Read Oedipus the King and any of the Zeus myths. Heavy on the beastiality and incest...)

98. I am studying Philosphy of the Emotions at the moment. I am also studying Classics, Minds and Persons, Psychology and Religion. This is my Mad Doktor's degree. I want to learn how people tick.

99. Apparently I'm a frightening person. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's because I don't say anything I don't mean and don't make empty threats.

100. I never make a promise I can't keep. This can be very frustrating.
